[Defy Themes and Apps] coolravsun:
All,

I have motorola MB525 defy bought in September 2011. Last week, my phone battery got deep discharged and the phone won't boot even after plugging in the charger.

As the phone was under warranty, i got the battery replaced at Motorola Authorised Service centre yesterday but i got HF5X 1700mAh (the one in Defy+) as replacement. The service centre guy said that it would work with my Defy.

I kept the phone on charging for more than 12 hours continuously but the battery keeps charging and battery level is not going beyond 80%. (Though battery is giving good life, but, mind you, it is only 2 days since i am using it.)

Can you please suggest what should i do?

Motivateme/Meilbox,

Can you please elaborate and explain what should I do?
[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
You guys can try this patch that I've made for Defy+ users on CM7.

And yes, it is just the battd from MS2Ginger 2.3.6.

It's a custom recovery update, so your phone has to be rooted and you need to have 2ndInit installed (for CWM 3.0 recovery or above).

And btw, it helps to describe what rom you are currently running when asking for help...

Cheers,

/AL
[Defy Themes and Apps] sakitobaki:
and how is your battery life?

SetVsel FTW

Under-volt that bad boy with SetVsel app ;-)

It's now 8:30pm... I took my phone of the charger @ 6:15am...

I'm sitting on 71% @ the mo ^^

PS - I have used it today for making - taking calls/email checking & multiple texts etc.
[Defy Themes and Apps] coolravsun:
AL,

My Defy is rooted but it is running Stock Android Froyo 2.2.2 ROM only. Will the patch work on Stock ROM? If yes, how do I apply this patch?
[Defy Themes and Apps] marhensa:
just install 2ndInit

inside 2ndInit you'll get CWM.

and you can flash All's fix with that.

woh.. defy+ have 1700mAh Battery and that problem for defy??

how to Defy the 3300mHa battery ?? are having trouble charging??

:confused:
[Defy Themes and Apps] marhensa:
no..

that's the problem for Defy+ user, which use Defy ROM.
[Defy Themes and Apps] diamond_lover:
Thanks.. Maybe I need a calibration, because I'm on 100% from 2 hour :o I'll ry calibrate @ next charge.
[Defy Themes and Apps] Proda:
Any success with ALs patch?

I want to buy Defy+ battery for my Defy and Im on CM7.2 at the moment.

MIUI

Hey all, I am very attached to miui but the patch for the battery doesn't seem to work with it. It just results in a little question mark over a full battery icon in the notification bar.
[Defy Themes and Apps] mdt24:
For info about how Defy+ battery fit in Defy and where you can buy it in Europe read these threads :

It seems you need a GB Kernel to use it correctly...
[Defy Themes and Apps] Maki-taro:
Hi i have a defy+ and i am using WIUI 2.2.3

my batery charge to 85%. This patch can solve that problem?
[Defy Themes and Apps] mdt24:
Normally yes, because WIUI is based on CM7 rom.
[Defy Themes and Apps] Maki-taro:
I tried and now my baterry indicator says 100% but is was at 85% before i install the patch.

maybe calibration?

maybe i need to wait to the baterry to discharge complete?
[Defy Themes and Apps] negretto88:
you just have to calibrate it, Greetings!
[Defy Themes and Apps] Maki-taro:
It has been in 100% for 2 hs.... :(
[Defy Themes and Apps] sakitobaki:
Can anyone confirm working 1700mA Defy+ battery on Defy?!

And how it can be done?
[Defy Themes and Apps] SheratanN22:
Well , read all the messages. I saw somebody that his battery ( defy normal ) got broken and got it to the service and the guy from the service gave him a defy + battery.( it needs GB kernel ) . Soo.. I think it does. He was able only to charge at 85%. He have to change battd from system.
[Captivate General] StickFigs:
I cleared my dalvik cache in an attempt to fix an error with installing an app on the appstore not working and when I rebooted now it's stuck at the Cyanogenmod 7 boot animation. So I tried pulling the battery and then deleting the cache partition and the dalvik cache again and rebooted but it's still stuck at the boot animation. It's been like this for 20+ minutes so I assume something is wrong. :(

Please help me, I haven't done a backup in a while and I don't want to lose all my data! :(
[Captivate General] mr.pedroruiz:
Don't stress.

You've probably fixed this already, but just for those who stumble upon this in the future, here is my experience and solution.

I did the same thing and took the battery out and the memory card and the sim card on the third go. I waited a few minutes and then put everything back together. Turned it on and then after a longer while than usual it loaded. Be patient when it reboots. I think it does take its time when it loads after a wipe. Hope this helps.
[Captivate General] RootTheMachine:
Perhaps try clearing cache and dalvik again. Worked for me when I was stuck at the kernel boot screen

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mikewse:
I'm running GinTonic.SE v2.5.1 on my X10 mini pro, which is great. The number dial pad in the Phone app has a broken layout though - dial keys are cut off.

How can I fix this?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mikewse:
Here's a screenshot to illustrate the problem.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] NovaMa:
Same here. I think that's related to the resize of the phone.apk to show (part of) the autocomplete (smart dialer) feature...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mikewse:
I tried replacing Phone.apk with the one from the Flame.E ROM (which is not having the layout problem), but no improvement...

What else could I try?

(What is the smart dialer autocomplete btw?)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] NovaMa:
Are you sure that replacing phone.apk succeded? I think this is not something you can simply substitute...

It's an autocomplete feature that works like T9 for SMS messages: you type (part of) the contact name on the phone keyboard, and the dialer finds that for you... but you can see it (very small) between the dial pad and the numbers at the top...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mikewse:
Pretty sure. I replaced Phone.apk and removed Phone.odex in the original zip and reinstalled from scratch, to avoid problems with r/o file systems, files in use etc.

Ah, now I see it - thanks, I had no clue about this! :-)

Not very useful at that size though.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] NovaMa:
The size is a "known" issue... if you look at the first post (by slade):

Sadly, no more updates since then, we'll have to wait

:o
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mikewse:
Finally looking in the right place, I found a solution for the broken layout. There's a GinTonic setting to disable smart dialer, which in turn corrects the layout in the phone app :p

Just unselect:

Settings > CyanogenMod settings > GinTonic settings > Smart dialer
[Dell Streak 7] Candy-men:
Hi Folks,

I´m thinking about to purchase a Streak7. But i suggest there are two Versions of the DS7: With- and without 3G onboard. In case of getting a non-3G Device, i want to know if it is possible to get 3G working with a USB 3G Stick?

THX so far for your replies....
[Dell Streak 7] yayanaji01:
hahah good luck
[Dell Streak 7] Candy-men:
Very helpfully post... really!
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
You would need to rewire a USB->PDMI cable that comes with it, then figure out how to add that option to the kernel.
[Dell Streak 7] intfranknet:
Its a thing that i dont like about streak 7.

No standard ports.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
The stock roms dont support usb hosting to begin with, I think Honeystreak might support it?

There's no premade adapter, though there's a company in china starting the process of producing/manufacturing otg cables.

There's also likely no drivers as there's no reason to keep drivers in a device that cant use them (ie usb modem drivers on a device that cant do usb-host by default)

If you're seriously wanting it, you essentially have to flesh out the entire process yourself.
[Dell Streak 7] afbond03:
Yea stinks about no standard ports. Odd.
[Dell Streak 7] intfranknet:
Another option is buy a MiFi. I got one for 29bucks on ebay for AT&T
[Focus General] Sierra76:
Tried to pair my Focus with some other bluetooth devices and failed. Did anyone managed to do this?

The scenario is always the same. I'm finding the other BT device on my Focus, the other device can detect my phone either, but when I try to pair them no chance. Always getting message "unsupported". (of course pins are matching). Tried to do it with my laptop, with my other Blackberry phone, even with my friend's android unit. What the... ?

edit: ok Found some info that WP7 wont support file transfer via BT. You may close this thread.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Not quite close it, it's useful info for others (it's also on Focus Wiki I believe).

BT is supported only for headsets and other WP7 devices but WP7 doesn't have a file stack so no transfers, so just handsfree/listening.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] el_dc5:
how can this acceptable for production. $20 pre paid phones dont have this crap on the screen

not happy at all

both mine and my dad have **** on the screen
[Motorola Droid RAZR] el_dc5:
Why have my pictures been edited?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] seanmcd72:
why don't you post some pictures of the screen displaying an actual image. You've fallen prey to the age old wives-tale of screens having issues because they look odd when they are not displaying an image...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ianford10:
My second RAZR had the black blotches when viewing anything dark in a low lit room. It has now been sent back and need to decide if I'm risking another. No matter what the screen should not have any **** on it full stop, not on a high end handset like this.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
All RAZRs have this. It's only visible in extremely dark lighting and extremely dark content displaying - E.G. you-won't-notice-it-unless-you're-looking-for-it-and-it-makes-no-difference-anyway.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ianford10:
Well I noticed it when taking a picture outside and also when watching a movie and believe me even Stevie Wonder would have noticed them so forgive me but your "you won't even notice it unless your looking for it, makes no difference anyway" is a crock of ****e.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] el_dc5:
no that what i see when im watching a movie and a dark part of the movie plays... this is not acceptable for a phone of this caliber....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ianford10:
Quite simply its defective and needs to be replaced.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] syntrix:
exif data is ripped out of this pic, but the original shows a Nikon D200 and:

It's a 15+ second long exposure IIRC.

That long open shutter is going to make it more dramatic looking. I'm sure that people looking at this pic think that is exactly what they will see in real life. Nope.

This is the same crap that people freak out about (and post the same exagerated photos) in the LCD computer monitor forums/threads. It's all a bunch of crap. Turn your screen on and get over it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ianford10:
It is not exaggerated if the owner of the handset can notice the blotches doing things like taking a photo or watching a video or anything that has a black background in low level lighting. In the UK the RAZR costs £450 and for that money I want a screen that's perfect and not full of blotches. Simple really ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ianford10:
And that is the biggest load of **** I have ever heard a company use to excuse screen defects.

Its like buying a car from Ford and them saying your windscreen might exhibit black blotches while driving in the night, but don't worry as this is perfectly normal and won't effect your driving.

Bull****
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
It can't be a defect, every single RAZR has it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ianford10:
If every single RAZR had it how come some people are stating that there handset does not have it? Plus if all RAZR's have it then it is a defect on a massive scale. No screen on a handset of this value should have a spec of dust under it let alone these black blotches that people are noticing.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
My uncle, step-dad, and 2 friends that have the RAZR have this. Look at the number of people commenting on it at any given time on any RAZR-related site. Granted, most people won't notice because it's rarely visible, but I am 99% sure that every single phone has this. It's intentional.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ianford10:
What?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
You can't make the same mistake thousands of times. It has to be. And that is what that paragraph states that it is.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ianford10:
So you don't believe in manufacturing defects and everything ever made in this world has been perfect?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
No, but it is also very improbable that EVERY SINGLE phone produced has it as a defect.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ianford10:
So is it a defect or not?

I'm going to order another RAZR and if this has blotches then its going back and my time with the RAZR is over. F#£% me blotches in the screen are a defect, how can anyone with reason see it as anything else?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
Hell if I know if it is a defect or not.

What matters is, that I have not even checked if mine has it or not. I am not going to check either.

Why? Because it is stupid to check for a 'defect' that is not even visible 99,9% of the time. When I use the phone the screens is turned on, there is not much I can do with it if it is off, right?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] klubhead:
here's mine.. i only see it in pitch dark when i'm staring at a black graphic for no reason..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ianford10:
OK so I ask you to go back a few posts and see that I have the issue when the screen is on, taking a photo outside or in low lit room, watching a movie, screen is on.

Can we start this merry dance again?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] syntrix:
WOW this thread is moving

FOR THOSE SEEING WHAT IS IN THE OP'S POST CHECK THIS:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19716607&postcount=9

Yeah, I hit it on post 9. You aren't seeing that. Human eye =< 15 second exposure with DSLR.

Y'all are killing me!!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------

See my post above. If yours looks like a long exposure taken in the OP's thread, then you have SUPER EYES or you simply do not see what is posted.

I posted the exif on page 9, which is the camera settings used to take the picture. If you see that, then you should be working for the government, stat!

Merry dance? LOL. Facts trump MERRY DANCES.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drolgnir:
Geez, I've never seen that crap on my XT910. Talk about make people paranoid about a product. I read some posts right after I bought mine, stared at it forever trying to find a screen defect so I could feel some sort of remorse for buying it. I didn't find anything, and just again I fell into temptation and stared at it some more! Still nothing.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] j0hnnyblaz3:
Looks like mine has it
[Motorola Droid RAZR] syntrix:
'

Your eyes can do 15 second exposures? Not buying it, lol.

Now maybe a slight gradient on the screen, albeit SLEIGHT, I'm sure humans can see that. Again, see my posts above and on the first page about exposure.:cool:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ianford10:
And again I state that whilst I am taking a frigging photo in a low lit room I see blotches in the frigging camera app, watching a movie and it goes slightly darker, I see a 2 inch darker streak running up the right hand side of my screen, lots of smaller blotches across the bottom!!! Facts my arse.

Can we start the merry dance again?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] robstunner:
I can see it easily and am able to point it out to everyone. Its not green at all, but the marks you see really are darker than the rest.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] j0hnnyblaz3:
What does exposure have to do with ink blobs on the screen when viewing dark colors? of course your eyes can do a 15 second exposure. Its not hard to hold them open for 15 seconds. If you can't you may want to see an optometrist. Although it's totally irrelevant to this discussion.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Huey85:
Hey douchebag, if you had paid PROPER attention these are shots with the screen ON. Whilst watching movies, in dark scenes you will also notice these black blotches/lines appear. Get your facts straight before telling people to "get over it".
[Motorola Droid RAZR] el_dc5:
Are you for real??? So you think we are so bored with our lives that I take long exposure shots to find defects... honestly some people are arrogant.. I took the 4 sec exposure on my cannon to show you guys can what the defect looks like. I saw it with my own eyes all 3 phones I have have it and all have different levels if standard backlight.. which is also not acceptable. What kind of quality control do they have. I love Motorola but this is a outrage.

Defend it and call me what you want. This is not acceptable for me at least fir a new phone. At least have a note or mention "phone by display signs of semen stains in the dark" .
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drolgnir:
lol, stared again for the third time. See them now, I'm a believer. If I didnt know what I was looking for I would have never seen them, or thought they were defects. I have had the XT910 a day before official release date in canada.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] el_dc5:
in the day its fine but i didn't buy a phone to be happy with it only during the day...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] el_dc5:
are you in some way paid by motorola??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mornen:
Count me in.

I also have several splotches and two 1.5 in lines. The splotches are fine to me but the lines are hard to deal with watching Netflix. Considering returning for a new one, but seeing how every unit seems to have this issue I'm not sure I want to risk getting one with even more shapes and splotches or a giant line down the middle or worse. If this is the same screen technology as the Galaxy Nexus then I wonder if it will have similar issues? Only time will tell I suppose.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] circleofomega:
its the date people...why don't u guys check the date once...may be all these are pre release models...just a suggestion...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] el_dc5:
all 3 i have are built Tue Oct 18

all have different screen brightness on min and max settings, and all have different spots and lines
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dups!:
That does it for me, I was going to get this phone on my upgrade but not anymore. I just can't excuse such an imperfection.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Semseddin:
SAME ISSUE, SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 SKYROCKET

SAME AND MORE ISSUES WITH THE GALAXY NEXUS

I dont post this to justify any of your concerns nor i am paid by motorola ! Samsung skyrocket and possibly more SAMOLED phones are suffering from the same issue as well. I wish it wasn't like that happened with the RAZR but it looks like it's just the way the tech is. For any of you who can't live with this, it would be wiser to replace their RAZR's with another phone or another Razr. My RAZR's screen have those black spotches,too but they're not near any level as the photos in the first post, i dont have any lines but little splotches and i can see them when i look at the same light conditions.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
All the AMOLED displays are suffering of this and all the RAZRs have got the same problem due to the material used in building its AMOLED screen.

The right question to do is...

....It's noticeable if you're in a dark room and you see your black display for 4-5 seconds, but in the real life use of these devices, are you really noticing that?

I'm not. So, nothing is absolutely perfect, the human technology has limits, too.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Latoc:
Every phone that uses Super Amoled has this: Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Note, RAZR, etc...

They all come out of the factory with those blotches.

If you don't want them, get a phone with a LCD screen, or wait for next gen Amoled screens.

Samsung just opened two Amoled factories in China, they are only beginning to master Super Amoled HD screen production, and slowly ramping up production cadence.

Kind of experimental as of today...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] robstunner:
No to continue to beat a dead horse, but non of my previous SAMOLED phones had these issues.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Semseddin:
Here's a photo of Galaxy Nexus Screen under same conditions ;

And one from Samsung Galaxy note under same conditions ;

Another one from Samsung Galaxy Note ;

Mind you, at least our black splotches are visible in only one condition unlike others. :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ianford10:
Not noticed it on the Galaxy Nexus yet so that is interesting to take note of.

Well tomorrow I'm going to order another RAZR and be done with it, third time lucky and if not then I will learn to live with blotches, I just love the RAZR and I think that's enough to get me through:)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Newbieshwa:
Well said!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] opensourcefan:
And there ya go, I said it somewhere on this forum but this is the start to really enjoying your phone. There will always be issues with everything, as soon as we all stop nit picking the sooner we learn to really enjoy what we have. This phone kicks butt, best phone ever IMO. There will be many phones in the near future that beat it spec wise but the RAZR will always be the RAZR, something different, something special.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nkd:
Yes when I turned on the phone, few spots had it and had to fricking put it under my blanket to even notice. I don't use my phone in a dark room and I did last night and I never noticed it other than the boot screen. I don't have too many spots but they were there.

Never ever, ever noticed it while using it. Stop taking shots with your super high end cameras that our eyes cant even see. I love this scree and something I don't notice, or doesn't show up when I am using the phone and half of my wallpaper is black.

I have yet to notice it while using the screen on everyday basis. I can't even find them even when I try to look for it when using it.

There will always be people that will raise hell over this. I am happy with my phone and I am glad it is not stuck in my head and I am not crazy putting blankets on my phone to notice this crap. Sorry if you don't like it, please return the phone and move on.

I am pretty picky about my phones but something that is not there while I am using the phone, I can hardly call the phone defective. This is kinda ridiculous.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] el_dc5:
Did you ever think........ you got one of the good ones? instead of insulting other people's right to express themselves and there. Experience to warn or help others.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JaBr1884:
For the longest time, I thought I was one of the lucky ones who didn't have this issue (I do have the blue tint when on an angle). However, I received my HD dock to use the phone as an alarm clock. When the lights go out and the screen dims, the dots and rather thick line on my screen show up very visibly (just like the 1st post). I don't think anyone could miss the line/blotches in this mode. This makes me wish they used the Bionic's screen in the RAZR even more, but I will still take the RAZR over anything else out there. I am not a fan of these AMOLED screens!
